— FUNDRAISER FOR LITTLE IGNAS FROM INOWROCŁAW DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. PARENTS ARE CRYING – JANUSZ MILANOWSKI AND JACEK GLUGLA IN GW: “How did Stanowski end up wearing a ‘Together for Ignas’ t-shirt during the debate? Determined parents reached the journalist in February at the Zero Channel Congress. – Mr. Krzysztof promised he’d think of something for us and he came up with something that exceeded our expectations. We’re crying tears of joy,” comment Bartłomiej and Monika Lissowie.”

— IN THE SUMMARIES ROUND, IT WAS ZANDBERG WHO STOOD OUT THE MOST: IT WAS A POWERFUL PUNCHLINE – ESTERA FLIEGER IN RZ: “Sławomir Mentzen did not make an impact. Szymon Hołownia, on the other hand, focused on attacking Adrian Zandberg – could the leader of Poland 2050 already know that after the candidate from Razem's internet-conquering speeches, he is directly competing with him for a place in the electoral peloton? In the summaries round, Zandberg stood out the most: it was a powerful punchline. Krzysztof Stanowski, on the other hand, returned like a Stańczyk, who just last Friday on TV Republika was lost between the roles of performer, journalist, and candidate. Now he asked, what is all this for, if the answers must fit within a minute. Perhaps this will be remembered, as there were not many other characteristic moments in this debate this time.”

— THIS IS NOT HOW THE LEADER OF THE PELOTON, WHICH THE WARSAW MAYOR IS IN THE POLLS, SHOULD PRESENT HIMSELF – JACEK NIZINKIEWICZ IN RZ: “Rafał Trzaskowski, the Civic Platform candidate, was not in form. Even if he asked pertinent questions or answered interestingly, his face showed fatigue, his posture was stooped, his face was pale, and his smile appeared only occasionally. This is not how the leader of the peloton, who is the mayor of the capital in the polls, should present himself. The KO candidate was also not the most attacked politician, apart from the provocations from Karol Nawrocki.”

— KAROL NAWROCKI HAD PROBLEMS DURING AND AFTER THE DEBATE, BUT HE DID NOT LOSE THE CONFRONTATION – NIZINKIEWICZ FURTHER IN RZ: “The PiS candidate is in increasingly better form when it comes to his way of speaking. He speaks more confidently, more boldly, his posture is straight, there is a smile on his face and a self-assurance that is not disturbed by a lack of knowledge or evasion of answers.”

— KRZYSZTOF STANOWSKI DOMINATED THE DEBATE ON TVP, EXPOSING THE WEAKNESS OF HIS RIVALS AND THE HOST. THE FAVORITES – RAFAŁ TRZASKOWSKI AND KAROL NAWROCKI – DISAPPOINTED. THE LEFT BECAME DISAGREEABLE, AND THE JOURNALISTS COULD NOT CONTROL THE FORMAT – MICHAŁ SZUŁDRZYŃSKI IN RZ.

— WE WILL REMEMBER HIM AS A TIRED AND AGGRESSIVE POLITICIAN – SZUŁDRZYŃSKI FURTHER IN RZ: “The favorite, just like at the debate in Końskie (which his campaign organized), could not hide his irritation that, while leading the election, he had to stoop to participate in the debate circus. We will remember him as a tired and aggressive politician.”

— INSINCERELY SMILING WITH A CHARISMA SIMILAR TO BŁASZCZAK'S – SZUŁDRZYŃSKI FURTHER IN RZ: “And how will we remember Nawrocki from the debate? As an insincerely smiling politician with a charisma similar to Mariusz Błaszczak's, who, in a situation that has outraged public opinion, is getting deeper into a spiral of unbelievable explanations.”

— FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE DEBATE ON TVP, KAROL NAWROCKI HAD TO FACE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE APARTMENT HE ACQUIRED IN GDAŃSK. HE DID NOT GET THROUGH THIS CHALLENGE. HOWEVER, RAFAŁ TRZASKOWSKI ALSO DID NOT SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY, AS HE PERFORMED QUITE POORLY. WE WILL REMEMBER THE DEBATE MAINLY THANKS TO THE CANDIDATES FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE RANKINGS – KAMIL DZIUBKA IN ONET.

— MENTZEN HAD A DECENT PERFORMANCE – DZIUBKA FURTHER IN ONET: “Sławomir Mentzen had a decent performance. He attacked Karol Nawrocki and proved that Nawrocki had not calculated the costs his tax program would generate for the budget. However, the leader of Konfederacja also made a significant blunder, rhetorically asking if ‘spanking’ had ever harmed anyone. Krzysztof Stanowski played an exceptional role, however, crudely attacking the debate co-host Dorota Wysocka-Schnepf (TVP), accusing her of being an ‘archpriestess of propaganda.’ He also argued that the journalist was only there to keep track of time in the debate and nothing more.

— THE PRESIDENT OF WARSAW AGAIN DID NOT DAZZLE, BUT HE AVOIDED PITFALLS, SUCH AS NAWROCKI'S QUESTIONS ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVICTIONS IN THE CAPITAL – PIOTR ŚMIŁOWICZ IN TYGODNIK POWSZECHNY: “The President of Warsaw again did not dazzle, but he avoided pitfalls, such as Nawrocki's questions about responsibility for evictions in the capital. He also, as usual, dedicated most of his attention to the PiS candidate, discrediting him in connection with the famous apartment case of Jerzy Ż. Nawrocki himself was reasonably effective, likely not losing those voters who are convinced of him, but he also did not use the opportunity to convincingly explain himself regarding the accusations.”

— THERE WAS CLEAR TENSION BETWEEN MAGDALENA BIEJAT AND ADRIAN ZANDBERG, SIMILAR TO THAT BETWEEN NAWROCKI AND TRZASKOWSKI – ŚMIŁOWICZ FURTHER: “An analogous rivalry also took place among the left-wing candidates – there was clear tension between Magdalena Biejat and Adrian Zandberg, similar to that between Nawrocki and Trzaskowski. The Deputy Speaker of the Senate traditionally accused the leader of Razem of reluctance to take responsibility for governing, while he accused her of abandoning important social postulates for the sake of participating in power. On Sunday, we will find out who among them convinced more left-wing voters.”

— DESPITE EVERYTHING, NAWROCKI COULD NOT AVOID BEING HIT ON THIS MATTER. AND HE WAS, BUT HE WEATHERED THE WORST BLOWS – JACEK GĄDEK IN NEWSWEEK: “Karol Nawrocki also had a well-constructed statement for the right-wing electorate at the end of the debate. He reiterated his most important messages: no to illegal migration, secure borders, ‘no’ to the Green Deal. – Poland should remain Poland – he stated. For the PiS candidate, this debate was the most difficult of all. He took many strong hits regarding the apartment he acquired from Jerzy Ż. But he endured this confrontation.”

— WE STILL DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS MATTER, BUT TRZASKOWSKI'S BLOWS WERE OFF TARGET – DOMINIKA DŁUGOSZ IN NEWSWEEK: “The matter is simple, and the president of Warsaw lost his reflexes and, instead of simply explaining it, tried to corner Nawrocki with Mr. Jerzy's apartment. We still don't know everything about this matter, but Trzaskowski's blows were off target. Magdalena Biejat was the most effective in this regard, finally stating directly that the whole narrative about ‘saving from homelessness’ is simply a lie, because Mr. Jerzy had a municipal apartment from the commune. He didn't have to buy it if he didn't have the funds. Karol Nawrocki simply decided to take the opportunity to acquire the apartment.”

— NAWROCKI IS NOT LOSING VOTES DUE TO THE APARTMENT SCANDAL. TRZASKOWSKI MUST LOOK FOR VOTES ELSEWHERE – PIOTR PACEWICZ IN OKO.PRESS: “According to survey trends, Nawrocki's electorate is not shrinking after the apartment scandal; instead, it is strengthening in the first round, and Trzaskowski's ratings are worse than before. Polls show where and how the KO candidate can seek support. Chrobry will hardly help in this.”

— THE EXPECTED EFFECT THAT THE “APARTMENT SCANDAL” WILL BURY KAROL NAWROCKI’S CHANCES IS NOT MATERIALIZING BECAUSE HIS ELECTORATE WILL FINALLY OPEN THEIR EYES – PIOTR PACEWICZ IN OKO: “The expected effect that the ‘apartment scandal’ will bury Karol Nawrocki’s chances is not materializing because his electorate will finally open their eyes. Similarly, in the Ibris poll for PR from May 10-11, Trzaskowski's lead (31.5%) over Nawrocki (23.6%) remains unchanged compared to the previous measurement, with a decrease in support for both main candidates, by about 2 percentage points.

— 30% SUPPORT FOR RAFAŁ TRZASKOWSKI IS HIS LOWEST RESULT THIS YEAR ACCORDING TO OPINIA24. SUPPORT FOR NAWROCKI, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS AMONG THE HIGHEST THIS YEAR – PACEWICZ FURTHER: “Support for Nawrocki (in both recent polls – 25%) is, in turn, among the highest this year (at the end of April, he had 26%, which is within the margin of error). And yet, during both of the last surveys, the ‘apartment scandal’ was in full swing. Nawrocki's declaration ‘on behalf of ordinary Polish women and men, like myself, who have one apartment’ was made on April 28 during a debate in SE, and the first Onet article about the Nawrockis’ apartment acquired from Mr. Jerzy was published on April 30. This may indicate that the ‘housing scandal,’ despite being widely publicized, is at least not discouraging people from voting for the PiS candidate. It is also not gaining voters for Trzaskowski, despite his attempts to revive his image as an honest, truthful politician who cares about people, in contrast to the greedy, deceitful, and heartless Nawrocki.”
